Inn Time 2

[22:17]	Keesh	emerges from the cellar with a lumpy bag of crushed ice nursing a pair of bloodshot eyes and a splitting headache.
[22:18]	Keesh	's eyes are literally shot with blood.  But did not literally get shot with blood.
[22:19]	Hypathia	"Oh hi! Welcome back I heard you two were blabbering away when I made friends with the stew!" She points to the semi-sentient blob of mess that would be the stew. She was serious about it too.
[22:20]	Keesh	squints from underneath the ice bag, and near-blindly holds out a grasping hand.
[22:21]	Keesh	"Mnnnrrrssshhh...  Can I shay hi to them?"
[22:30]	Hypathia	She motions for the..."Thing" to lend out its hand only to cover Keesh's own with burnt meat, potato and.. water!? She burnt water. Amazing. Simply amazing.
[22:33]	Keesh	has had worse meals, and sucks the stew off the scaly hand.
[22:33] Keesh	slips into the nearest chair to be bumped into and readjusts the ice bag.
[22:34]	Keesh	"Nnmmph, nnmmph...  Cook lessh.  Shimmer more.  It'sh shtew, not shoup."
[22:36]	Hypathia	"What if!.. oh! What if.. its a Stewoup! ..no that name sounds terrible." She sighed to herself before whisking her hands over the thing before resuming its lifeless state before. " OH how did that fresh meat turn out?"
[22:36]	Keesh	stops nomming.
[22:37]	Keesh	"Wait...  You ushed the FRESH meat?!"
[22:37]	Hypathia	"Oh I mean that new girl who tried to shoehorn her way in here. She really wanted that job badly.. maybe we could turn this place to a whorehouse.. that'd draw in adventurers."
[22:38]	Keesh	gladly sinks back under the warm embrace of the bag of ice.
[22:39]	Keesh	"Don't know, don't care, ash long ash it'sh far away from here."
[22:39]	Keesh	"I won't SHERVE dragonsh, and I shure ash the hellsh won't EMPLOY dragonsh!"
[22:40]	Keesh	"More trouble than they're ever going to be worth..."
[22:40]	Keesh	waggles a finger thoughtfully.
[22:41]	Keesh	"Whorehouse, mmm?  Well, let'sh jusht try it the normal way firsht~"
[22:42]	Keesh	"But if you can't even manage a pot of SHTEW, well then~..."
[22:42]	Hypathia	"Aww cmon.. I need a willing victim for my funs!" She pouts before tossing away the stew. "But yeah the whorehouse thingy, I'm sure adventurers of all sorts could use the stress relief after a hard days work... probably. I won't participate though, maybe you will Keesh. You look the kind who'd drink fuck and suck!"
[22:44]	Keesh	would surely have a thing of six to say upon witnessing such a wasteful expenditure of good... of adequate... of food.
[22:44]	Keesh	would surely like to be able to see right about now, too.
[22:45]	Keesh	"No, Hypathia, that'sh what I hire peashant girlsh like YOU for~"
[22:46]	Keesh	"You've got to grow up SHOME day, after all."
[22:46]	Hypathia	"I am no mere peasant! I am an almighty witch of the greatest magnitu--oh the cookies are done." She stops  with her grandeur speech before hopping down from the case of potatoes and got some cookies out of the oven. "Here."
[22:49]	Keesh	is handed some kind of hard bread thing.
[22:49]	Keesh	"The what are done?"
[22:50]	Hypathia	"I learned it from some fat pudgy guy dressed in some gaudy clothing. Something about freedom of his home country or somehin' I don't know." She took once herself and was ra3ther pleased at her outcome.
[22:51]	Keesh	rolls the "cookie" around from palm to finger.  Must be some kind of biscuit.  Probably burnt to a crisp.
[22:54]	Keesh	noms.
[22:55]	Hypathia	"Oh these are pret--- OOOF-BLEHHHHHHH" She immediatley moments later after consuming the cookie and then spoke without a hint of shame or hesitation. "And vomit inducing for those terrible girls who desire to be skinny! SUCCESS!":
[22:56]	Hypathia	"Oh and I mixed in some dragon's tongue into one of thosse cookie as well."
[22:57]	Keesh	chews into something very... chewy.
[23:01]	Keesh	immediately spits out the "cookie" and hurls the rest at the vague direction of Hypathia's voice.  The bag of ice follows soon afterwards.
[23:06]	Keesh	"QUIT WASHTING MY FOOD, I'M PAYING MONEY FOR THISH FOOD!"
[23:11]	Hypathia	"Stupid thing was thrasing when I was trying to cut it.-- okay sure." She stops and puts the rest of the cookies away sure to be used for other devious things such as desserts. "So what now then?"
[23:14]	Keesh	is questioning the intelligence of hiring this girl.
[23:15]	Keesh	"Uggh, jusht, go outshide and shee if anyone is coming, invite them in!"
[23:20]	Hypathia	"Okayyyyy."  Hypathia sighs a bit wondering what life she would have working in this dreary little inn. She desires for adventure! Loot! Maidens/Men to call her own! Though mostly test subjects. " Anyone will do right? Even dragons?"
[23:21]	Keesh	"EXSHEPT dragonsh."
[23:22]	Hypathia	"Okay extra dragons with a side of Wyrms, got iitttt" She giggles before running out with what little she has to cover herself from the rainstorm and began to hollar at any passerbys promising of a warm place to dry off and a cheap  meal to eat.
[23:28]	Keesh	[Through the sheets of rain, Hypathia can make out the outlines of two mounted figures making their slow, plodding way through the rain and mud.  The fact that they can be seen makes them not very far away at all, though likely still too far too be heard, or described.]
[23:36]	Hypathia	"Hey! You!" She ways at them with a glowy hand in an attempt to garner thier attention. "You know you're tired of getting wet! Now stay dry at our inn! Every stay at the inn comes with a free meal! Bacon costs extra though."
[23:40]	Keesh	[The pair draws close enough to get a good look.  One is a man--of sorts--on a steel-grey horse, dressed in thick coats and a wide-brimmed hat, with skin and hair that looks almost like it was chiseled out of stone, and an expression to match.  The other rides a much less imposing mule, and is equally much less imposing.]
[23:42]	Hypathia	"Oh, well crap. I didn't expect anyone to actually pay attention to me. Oh well. Please, at least come inside for a meal if you're not to stay for hte night!" She waves at them once more before going inside and openign the door for them. Of course mentioning that equines and thier brethers weren't allowed inside.
[23:44]	Keesh	Grey Man:  "Wench!  Tend to the mounts!  I won't have them getting sick in this rain!"
[23:45]	Keesh	[The man shouts at Tarathiel, who has been fuming outside on a bench this whole time.]
[23:48]	Gilder	is an elf with curly hair dragged down by mud and left limp and impossible to tell the color. She is wearing a tunic that appears to have been made from a canvas sack, and only barely covers her relevant bits. She is barefoot, and her only other clothing is a large brass collar, whose chain leads to the mule, and thence to the horse.
[23:51]	Keesh	[The grey man swings off his horse, showering Glider with even more water.  He fumbles with a crude key to unlatch the girl and the mounts, before grabbing the free end of the chain and stomping inside.]
[23:52]	Gilder	stumbles after him, not protesting.
[23:54]	Keesh	has acquired a trusty pair of dark-lensed goggles, a surface-dwelling kobold's best friend!  They look somewhat absurd, but Keesh is in no mood to worry as long as a semblance of sight is the result.
[23:57]	Hypathia	"Hmm.." She glances at the treatment of what seems to be a handiman of some sort, and shrugs it off but not totally putting it to the back of her mind. "Well, come on now!"
[23:59]	Keesh	has a recollection of the grey-skinned man, and walks up to meet him.
[00:00]	Keesh	"Ahh, Mr. Shate.  I hadn't exshpected you until tomorrow, what with the downpour."
[00:02]	Keesh	"You've caught me at shomething of a lossh, but pleashe shit down by the fire and have shome hot food."
[00:02]	Keesh	"HYPATHIA!  Food and ale for Mr. Shate!"
[00:03]	Keesh	[Mr. Shate (Or is it Sate?) peels off layers of sodden clothing, draping them on the empty tables no one was using anyways.  He looks at the very-much-not-burning hearth.]
[00:04]	Keesh	Mr. Shate:  "...Fire, ey?"
[00:04]	Hypathia	"Right right! What about that other person there?" She points at the other companion he was with moments ago. " Should I prepare something for them as well?"
[00:05]	Keesh	looks at the very-much-not-burning hearth, and with a quick finger snap a roaring fire is born right where it should be.
[00:05]	Keesh	"Yes, Mr. Shate.  The fire~  Make yourshelf at home~"
[00:06]	Keesh	Mr. Shate:  "Wha's that, wench?  Oh, naw, nothin' for the girl."
[00:07]	Hypathia	"Mmmm.. okay!~~" She says in a cheerful tone before heading off into the kitchen nearly tripping over her own robe once more, knocking a glass over.
[00:08]	Keesh	walks over to the sodden lump that might be a girl.
[00:09]	Keesh	"Not mush to look at, ish she?"
[00:11]	Keesh	Mr. Shate:  "YOU try riding in this weather; or does your kind not feel it?"
[00:14]	Keesh	circles around the girl with a pensive hand below the chin.  Very skinny.  Of course, elves always are.
[00:15]	Gilder	peers at Keesh, but doesn't say anything. Very curious.
[00:18]	Hypathia	goes into the kitchen and fixes something up for the two of them. She noticed something off about that other partner that male was with.. something about that person reminds her of her own past. She sighs a bit and began to daze off. When the girl came to, she had made a whole meal set and then some for both Mr.Shite and that other person.
[00:19]	Keesh	finds a towel and roughly tries to dry off the elf's hair and face to get a better look.
[00:19]	Keesh	"You got a name, elf?"
[00:21]	Gilder	"Gilder." She sounds uncowed.
[00:24]	Keesh	"Wha, Glider?  A little uninventive, don't ya think?  Guessh it'll do, though."
[00:25]	Keesh	starts pulling at Glider's hair to make sure it's real; it's a quite impressive shade of red, especially for an elf.
[00:25]	Hypathia	"Mista SHIATTEEE I mean Shate!.. or whatever. I have your order ready!" She brought out a hearty helping of thier best meals and manages to bring it to the man without tripping over her own robe. "Here ya go!"
[00:29]	Keesh	[Mr. Shate expressionlessly pulls the plate of food close to him, but nods approvingly once he begins to eat.]
[00:30]	Keesh	Mr. Shate:  "Hey kobold!  Better keep this one; you'll be able to charge double for yer meals in no time!"
[00:30]	Keesh	eyes Hypathia and raises a skeptical eyebrow.  Inside the pair of goggles.
[00:31]	Keesh	"...You holding out on me, girl?"
[00:33]	Gilder	doesn't react to the hair-tugging.
[00:35]	Keesh	"Hey shtone man!  Where'd you find curly hair on an ELF?  I'd better not be paying exshtra for thish!"
[00:36]	Keesh	"You shure she'sh really an elf?"
[00:38]	Hypathia	"Holding out on what now? Like... more cookies?" She tilts her head looking at Keesh. "Something like that right?"
[00:40]	Keesh	flips up the goggles so Hypathia can see the kobold's blood-red glare.
[00:41]Keesh	"NEVER anything like that, again, EVER."
[00:41]	Keesh	flips the goggles back gown and motions for her to come closer.
[00:41]	Hypathia	"Ok more draggie cookies then!~!" The girl giggles and goes towards the other two leaving the man to his own as he doesn't seem like the kind who'd be up for small talking.
[00:42]	Keesh	"Hypathia, come here; make yourself usheful.  Need a human'sh opinion~"
[00:45]	Gilder	tilts her head at Hypathia. The look she gives seems to ask whether this woman has any hidden depths Gilder isn't appreciating.
[00:48]	Hypathia	"Sure thing" She walks over deliberately as to not trip over herself. " What can I do for you?"
[00:49]	Keesh	puts two hands around Glider's waist, as if to measure it.
[00:50]	Keesh	"Too thin?  I can never tell with your typesh."
[00:52]	Hypathia	" I unno... I'm no elf." she points to the girl's ear. "They look normal enough, though doesn't look like they've been fed alot or at all."
[00:52]	Keesh	"I think elvesh are always like that?"
[00:53]	Keesh	looks at Glider's feet.  Seems un-scarred enough.
[00:53]	Keesh	"Do they normally like to wear shoesh?  I forget."
[00:53]	Keesh	"Hey elf, do you wear shoesh?"
[00:56]	Gilder	"When I'm indoors, or the ground is bad." she replies.
[01:04]	Hypathia	"So.. what in the world are you two doing out there in that downpour anyway?"
[01:04]	Keesh	grabs Glider's chin and looks her in the face.
[01:05]	Keesh	"Seems like a pretty face.  Hey Hypathia, would you call this a pretty face?  Would you want this face on you?"
[01:05]	Keesh	shows Glider's face to the kitchen wench.
[01:06]	Hypathia	"Hmmmmmmm." She peers down at Glider and tilts her head a bit. "Oh yes, they'd be sore by the time I'm done with them." She grins and nods approvingly.
[01:08]	Keesh	doesn't bother to ask about human mating customs.  Seems like a good enough approval~
[01:08]	Gilder	gives Hypathia a private wink just before the two break eye contact.
[01:08]	Hypathia	"Maybe a bit more, some cuddling too. And maybe some more mating afterwards! Though, to be frank girls are alright but they lack my other favorite thing guys have."
[01:08]	Keesh	"All right, Shate, I'm shatisfied.  I'll take her."
[01:09]	Keesh	[Mr. Shate stretches and lumbers out of his chair.]
[01:10]	Keesh	Mr. Shate:  "Twenty kings."
[01:10]	Keesh	hesitates.
[01:11]	Keesh	"...Yesh, twenty kingsh, and I paid you half up-front.  Ash agreed."
[01:13]	Keesh	Mr. Shate:  "You paid twenty for the GIRL.  You'll pay ten more for my trip."
[01:15]	Keesh	frowns.
[01:16]	Keesh	"YOU pay for your trip.  I'll give you the meal and the room for free."
[01:16]	Hypathia	"While those two duk--wait WHAT?! You're here for help!?" She finally gets it and a shock of horror was to appear on the girls face. "Holy crap!"
[01:17]	Keesh	"Ehh?  What'sh that, Hypathia?  Burn shomething again?"
[01:18]	Hypathia	"Nono.. I didn't expect this person to be help you hired or.. er... paid for." She stammers, caught quite offguard.
[01:20]	Keesh	shrugs.
[01:21]	Keesh	"Oh, ish that all?  Well, she ish.  But not quite paid for YET, at least SHOMEONE doeshn't think sho!"
[01:22]	Keesh	"I'll give you twelve more, Shate.  It'sh not MY fault you had to ride through a rainshtorm.  You could've come tomorrow."
[01:25]	Gilder	stifles a sneeze.
[01:32]	Hypathia	"Bless you. Let's get you into something warmer shall we?" she leads Gilder torwards the servants quarter to see if there's any spare dry clothing for the elf.
[01:33]	Gilder	follows gratefully. Once she's out of earshot, she asks, "I apologize, but could I get your name?"
[01:36]	Hypathia	"Hypathia, the greatest mage in the world! Also the smallest." The girl pouts as she opens the door for the two to enter.
[01:42]	Gilder	enters. "Impressive. I didn't do anything near as lofty as that."
[01:47]	Hypathia	"I suck at it, though. I'm better suited for necromancy but  people tend to frown on that. So I don't do that much now a days.. I tend to have a bit of strenght unfitting of a mage but whatever." She shrugs before showing her the quarter which held an oversized robe similar to her own. "Wear that for now, I'll be out here when you're done."
[01:50]	Gilder	"Thank you." She closes the door and starts changing into the new outfit.
